The Satsuma Smash

This Satsuma cocktail is the perfect dash of Christmas in your cocktail glass!

satsuma cocktail-1I love a good backyard winter fire, and this is the perfect cocktail to go with it! Bundled up in your toques and boots, fresh snow all around, the crackling sound of the fire with your satsuma cocktail in hand: perfection! Now is the time to treat yourself to this one. Keep in mind, these oranges are only in season from November to January.

This cocktail is the perfect kick-off to a date-night in! For dinner try Dietician Emily Mardell’s Alberta Beef Short Rib Ravioli With Brown Butter and Crispy Sage!

satsuma cocktail-2Satsumas

These beautiful oranges from Japan touch down in North American grocery stores just before the holidays. They typically don’t ripen until fall or early winter, so they’ve traditionally been associated with Christmas. The only grocery store near us that had them by early November was Freson Bros. In my opinion, they’re a step-up from the Mandarin oranges from China, packing a bit more flavour punch.

Sunday’s Whiskey

This amazing whiskey is made in Japan but has a Canadian connection. Of the five innovators of Sunday’s Whiskey, four are from Alberta!

An authentically Japanese, world blend whisky that expands the universe of whisky lovers & Japanophiles. Sunday’s Whisky is crafted in small batches and made from world grain spirits that is distilled twice and barrel-aged for three to nine years at cask strength. The whisky is blended before adding the pristine, alkaline water from the nearby springs of Koriyama. The result is a more round, viscous mouthfeel with soft, slightly sweet undertones.

You’ll Need:

  • Two ounces of Sunday’s Whiskey
  • Six satsuma wedges, sliced in half
  • One ounce of Satsuma Ginger Syrup
  • Orange peel garnish, gently twisted
  • One lemon slice, cut in half
  • Big square ice cube

Directions:

  • Muddle the satsuma wedges and lemon.
  • Add muddled mixture to a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Pour in two ounces of Sunday’s Whiskey.
  • Pour in one ounce of Satsuma Ginger Syrup.
  • Shake what your mama gave you for about 20-30 seconds (one way to tell your shaking time is adequate – your cocktail shaker will have a lightly frosted layer on the outside.
  • Strain into a rocks glass with a big square ice cube.
  • Garnish with a gently twisted orange peel.

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a frien 🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a friend who could use some laundry help. 🤗

➡️ Do you hate laundry? Love it? I love washing and hanging. My husband is definitely better at folding. ❤️

Tip 1️⃣ has been a game-changer. Fresh laundry and no stinky clothes that have been sitting too long. I schedule mine to end when our baby naps so I can get to it right away. 

Tip 2️⃣ if you want wrinkle-free clothes that don't wear down as quickly - take your clothes from the wash and throw in the dryer for 5-8 mins only and then hang to dry. I do this for everything but stuff that is workout pant or bathing suit material (that goes straight on the rack).

The little time on the dryer is just enough to take the wrinkles out without shrinking or compromising the longevity of your items.

Towels, blankets, and sheets do go in the dryer for a full round.
